Dirty Three - Toward The Low Sun (2012)

Submitted on Tue, 02/21/2012 - 11:33

Legendary instrumental trio Dirty Three will boldly break cover in February 2012 with a remarkable new album, “Toward the Low Sun,“ on Bella Union records.

Toward the Low Sun is the product of the most ceaselessly creative period in the band’s career, in which Jim White, Mick Turner, and Warren Ellis have relentlessly made music in different permutations and locations around the globe. No other Australian band has ever impacted international music in such a subversive fashion. This is a band that exists within itself and outside of itself, generating a massive (and massively influential) body of work.

Toward the Low Sun is not a cosy, nice-to-be-back, return to the comfort zone. There is an energy and a raw excitement evident from the first electrifying opening moments through to the album’s finale. In Warren’s words, “Dirty Three has always been about the way we play together and feed off each other. We wanted this one to be a return to the more improvised and instinctive approach of the earlier recordings.” And indeed Toward the Low Sun sounds like a first ever recording, a punk avant-garde art-jazz record! And for all their incredible music of the past, the Dirty Three have never seemed more relevant.

Toward the Low Sun is produced by Casey Rice and Dirty Three and was recorded in Melbourne at Head Gap studios and mixed at Sing Sing.
